Education Tue Jun 15 2010
CPS: 35 to a Class
Ron Huberman called an "emergency" meeting of the Board of Education for today to move the district towards shoe-horning more kids in the classroom. The Board dutifully agreed. The timing of this "emergency" meeting could be a little suspicious, as an insurgent caucus dedicated to fighting Huberman tooth-and-nail just won the leadership of the CTU on Friday. Before leaving office, the previous leadership of the CTU filed a lawsuit against the Board alleging that raising class sizes to 35 would violate the fire code in many schools.
